Just had fun with a telemarketer.

Didn't recognize the number so answered the voice call with a text answer, "Busy, will call you back later."
They almost immediately texted back. "Who is this?"
So I answered the text the same, "Busy, will text back later."
After a few of those they texted, "I don't recognize this number."
I sent, "You called me."
Then they sent, "Who is this, I don't recognize the number."
I sent, "If you don't recognize your own number I certainly don't know whom you are."

Then I started getting phone calls again from that same number instead of texts.
So setup my text answer button to. "If you don't know who you are, I am not answering a phone call from you."

After 4 times they sent a text telling me they were calling from an ins. co., their name, and they wanted to save me money.
So texted back "No Thanks." and put their number on my Block list.

Have decided this is the best way to handle calls from numbers I don't know.
Just use the send message option on my iPhone instead of answering
The text reply seems to mess with the telemarketing system that calls and then hangs up because their sales people are all busy.
I usually block an unknown number that calls, then hangs up, but this seems like the more hassle to them.
